A/APublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Asthma — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Asthma.
G/GPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Asthma compared to the general population.
Papers in Europe PMC whose title or abstract names both this rsID and that subject. A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together — it is not a claim that this position explains the subject.
Questions about rs13408661
What is rs13408661?
rs13408661 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IL18R1 gene. Published research associates it with asthma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs13408661 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Asthma. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
What do people read about alongside rs13408661?
Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include allergies (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.
Does having rs13408661 mean I will get this?
No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.
Where does the information about rs13408661 come from?
GWAS Catalog, PLoS One 2012, PMID:23028483. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
